At the moment, the majors are consolidating before the publication of the report on the labor market in the
United States. The technical pattern is ambiguous. Preliminary data from ADP and statistics on business activity
in the non-manufacturing sector of the US from ISM turned out to be weak. At the same time, experts expect an
increase in the average hourly wage (0.3%) and a decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.3%. A positive report
can strengthen investors' expectations about another increase in the Fed's interest rate. At the moment, the
probability of tightening the monetary policy in December of this year is at the level of 42.2%. The key trading
range on the EUR/USD currency pair is 1.18400-1.19000.

At 15:30 (GMT+3:00) a report on the labor market in the United States will be published.

The EUR/USD quotes have fixed above 50 MA and 200 MA, which indicates the power of buyers.

The MACD histogram is in the positive area, but below the signal line, which gives a weak signal to buy EUR/USD.

Stochastic Oscillator is located in the neutral zone, the %K line crossed the %D line. There are no signals at
the moment.

Trading recommendations

Support levels: 1.18400, 1.18000, 1.17600

Today we recommend reducing risks when opening positions.

If the statistics from the US turns out to be weak, the bullish sentiment may prevail on the EUR/USD currency
pair. The movement is tending potentially to 1.19500-1.19750.

An alternative may be a downward trend in EUR/USD. The target level of movement is 1.18000-1.17600.

The Bank of England, as expected, left the interest rate unchanged at 0.25%. The number of votes for tightening
the monetary policy dropped to 2. The Chairman of the Central Bank is concerned about the future format of
economic relations with the EU. These events put considerable pressure on the pound. The fall of the GBP/USD
quotations exceeded 100 points. At the moment, the key trading range is 1.31250-1.32000. We are waiting for
statistics from the USA.

At the moment, the technical pattern on USD/CAD is ambiguous. The currency is in a sideways trend. Participants
of the financial markets adopted a wait-and-see approach before the publication of labor market reports in the
US and Canada. The key support and resistance levels are 1.25500 and 1.26200 respectively. We recommend opening
positions from these marks.

The USD/JPY currency pair

% chg. over the last day: -0.76

Day's range: 109.842 – 110.189

52 wk range: 99.53 – 118.67

Yesterday, the bearish sentiment prevailed on USD/JPY. The yen increased against the US dollar by more than 70
points. This is due to a fall in the government bonds yield and the release of weak data on business activity in
the non-manufacturing sector of the United States. At the moment, the price is testing a round level of 110.000.
The 110.400 mark is already a "mirror" support. We are expecting a report on the labor market in the United
States.

Today, the news background on the Japanese economy is calm.

The price is below 50 MA and 200 MA, which indicates the power of sellers.

The MACD histogram is located in the negative zone, but above the signal line, which gives a weak signal to sell
USD/JPY.
